Rumplestiltskin's Daughter

Ep 4 - The Jolly Roger

I open my eyes slowly I'm guessing a few hours later, I was lay on a bed in some sort of room, my hair was still semi wet from falling a 50ft drop into a sea of water and then dragged onto a ship full of pirates. I look around to see covers placed In front of me that I could use to keep me warm.

When I look over to the other side of the room I see a familiar sad faced boy, my brother, he was sat on the side of a bed looking towards the floor with a distressed look like he was thinking about stuff, probably about Wendy and the rest of the darlings, and about the fact that we're stranded in the sea after being flown to a land full of magic not able to ever leave, "Bae!?" I say with a scratchy throat, "wh-where are we?" I lift my legs over to the side of my bed causing my feet to hit the floor.

Bae keeps his glare attached to the floor not turning to look at me, "the doors locked, I already tried" as he speaks I looked towards the big door at the end of the room, "were prisoners on a pirate ship!" He says with anger. As soon as Bae finished his sentence the door from the end of the room made a loud noise before barging open.

I shoot my head in its direction as familiar people stood behind the now opened door, the first person to walk in was Captain Hook as he told us when we got here, "Ahoy there" the pirate looks at both me and Bae as I wrap a cover around me and Bae finally looks up at the pirate and the other one follows him, "aren't you two lucky to be alive." He says with a slight smirk.

"Lucky?" My brother rhetorically asks, "we're prisoners of Pirates in a land cursed with Magic" he states not too pleased about the situation but for me it was different I believed it could be worse than this.

"It's not that Bad" The captain looks at me intrigued in what I was saying, "we have shelter and warmth, were not with that shadow anymore," I begin to list things to Bae as he looks at me shocked I wasn't as upset as him, "and at least we're not on that island under the care of the shadow, so you know it could be worse" I say sarcastically smiling.

"The young lady is quite right!" Captain Hook says looking from me to my brother.

"I always am" I mumble under my breath loud enough for them to hear, smirking. You see when I lived back in the enchanted forest I used to read a lot, it was something I'd do to pass the time I remember this one book I read all about pirates, and a first impression on a pirate is everything, you can't be weak, or stronger than them or uninteresting, a first impression is always everything.

"Although most children think they've found paradise" The Captain looks at us both, "when they lay their eyes on Neverland's magic" my whole life I've only ever been exposed to dark magic, how do I know for sure Neverland is really that bad, maybe it's not completely dark magic, "why else leave home In the first place?" Hook continues.

"I came here so a family I loved could live!" Bae says with anger like he has with every word he's said since we boarded this ship, "we came here for them," Bae says looking towards me but he was wrong.

"You came here for them," they all quickly look towards me as I spoke to my brother pointing at him before pointing to myself, "I simply came here so I didn't lose another person in my family, I didn't come here to protect them, I came here to protect you!"

"Well aren't you both quite the heroes" The Captain smirks, I think it's heroine for a girl, but carry on, "you to protect this family you speak off" Hook looks at Bae rolling his eyes he then looks over to me, "and you to protect your brother?" He says not knowing if we were actually brother and sister.

"What would you know about being a hero," Bae rhetorically asks looking at Hook, "Pirate" he emphasised since he thinks pirates are all awful people because our father told us a pirate killed our mother when trying to find a magical potion to heal our sickness, Bae blames himself and he blames the pirate that supposedly killed our mother but how do we know that story is really true.
